Gatekeeper of Myriad Worlds Chapter 161

——In matters of the nightmare world, Shen Ye still trusted Big Skeleton quite a lot.

When Big Skeleton urged him like this, he knew it was a good thing.

And good things should be done.

Shen Ye tidied up the set of Beastman Great Priest’s robes, held them up in both hands, and said,

“This set really isn’t much use to me, so you might as well have it.”

Karla smiled slightly and chanted another spell.

The golden mist swirling around her hand flew over, surrounding Shen Ye, gradually emitting a grand and magnificent sound.

A faint light appeared, gathering into words:

“You have received the blessing of the Earth Mother:”

“The Level Wilderness.”

“Description: All your attributes are comprehensively elevated, eventually reaching the same level. At the same time, it repairs various hidden injuries on your body, making your foundation more profound and solid.”

“—People gaze at the distant horizon, just as they gaze at their beautiful future.”

“Congratulations.”

“‘The Great Chieftain’s Invitation’ has been removed.”

“All your basic attributes have been increased, as follows:”

“Strength: 19;”

“Agility: 19;”

“Spirit: 19;”

“Insight: 19;”

“Resonance: 19; Moon Shadow Lineage Resonance +20;”

“Available attribute points: 10.”

“—One step further and you will be a ‘True Man’. No blessing can replace your own efforts. Please break through that barrier yourself!”

Too strong.

Too strong, too strong, too strong!

Shen Ye looked down and saw that the iron-chain-like rune on his ankle had become very dim.

“Don’t worry, within a day, all these traces will dissipate,” Karla said.

“Can this blessing be done again? I can pay for it,” Shen Ye asked.

“A person can only endure such a blessing once in a lifetime,” Karla said with a smile.

She could tell that the other party was so shocked that he couldn’t help but ask a question that he himself knew was impossible.

“Alright, these clothes are yours!”

Shen Ye held the Great Priest’s robes in both hands and offered them to her.

Karla was quite pleased with his straightforwardness. After thinking for a moment, she tossed a small item to Shen Ye.

“What is this?” Shen Ye asked.

—It was actually just a wooden plaque with the words “Body of the Earth” written on it.

“You helped me kill the Great Chieftain and destroy the distorted 996 social system, so this Earth treasure is for you.”

“It represents that you are a friend of the earth.”

“When needed, lightly tap this wooden plaque, and it will transform an object into you—even the soul will be perfectly simulated—to confuse your enemies.”

“It’s very useful when facing relentless enemies.”

After Karla finished speaking, Big Skeleton immediately sent a message:

“Quick, agree to her, thank her—the centaur race are very generous demigod beings! They only need your sincere gratitude!”

“Thank you very much for your gift. I look forward to fighting alongside you one day,” Shen Ye said.

Karla nodded and said:

“Hmm, I hope our next meeting will still be for the fight against evil.”

She leaped gracefully, flying high into the sky, and soon departed.

Shen Ye closed his eyes slightly, quietly feeling the changes brought by the earth’s blessing.

All attributes reached 19 points.

This level of improvement was beyond imagination.

Shen Ye only felt his mind was incredibly clear, his spirit seemed tangible, and he even had the illusion that he could influence reality. His limbs were filled with power, and as his gaze swept over the dilapidated walls, his heart began to comprehend the arcane mysteries contained in the residual flames.

—But Shen Ye knew in his heart that he shouldn’t dwell too much on all this, nor should he be too conceited.

The feelings he had just experienced were merely an illusion of being “very, very strong” because he had taken a big step forward from his original state.

“Big Skeleton,” Shen Ye called out.

“What?” Big Skeleton asked.

“If we hadn’t intervened just now, could she have defeated the Great Chieftain?”

“The Great Chieftain has a divine body, she couldn’t beat him.”

“I thought she could beat him, that would have been too amazing.”

“Precisely because she couldn’t beat him, she gave you that wooden plaque to thank you for your great help.”

“So that’s how it is…”

Shen Ye muttered to himself, reaching out to press on the void.

A door opened.

He stepped inside.

…

Main world.

Zhongzhou City.

Underground cave.

A door quietly appeared.

Shen Ye stepped through, and immediately saw countless faint lights converging, forming two lines of small characters:

“Congratulations.”

“This portal opening has obtained a new attribute.”

Attribute?

Shen Ye was a little surprised, then suddenly understood.

Yes, he had fought tooth and nail precisely for a high-rated attribute!

Faint glows continuously appeared, condensing in mid-air, displaying lines of small characters:

“This portal opening drew upon the power of the law realm released upon you in Zhongzhou City, and simultaneously drew upon the power of the law realm in the nightmare world. With the power of the two-world link, a combined evaluation attribute has been obtained:”

“The Joker.”

“A dark gold attribute beyond compare.”

“Description: You, the attribute, and your profession must work together to create mischief. When mischief exists, your designated target will fall into the mischief you created, continuously receiving various ‘positive’ mischief effects.”

“Each time the target actively breaks free from your mischief, they will be inflicted with a ‘negative’ mischief effect.”

“You can cancel the mischief at any time.”

“—This attribute ignores all forms of the target’s defense, race, spells, talents, and power levels.”

“Evaluation: Red attributes flashed into existence like a fleeting glimpse, then disappeared; your memory was altered, then corrected; you played the Beastman Great Priest as a vampire, and as Peppa Pig, saved Prince Norton’s fate with a secret letter; you advocated for 996, then defeated its variation: 807; you steered trouble towards others, causing deities to fight deities, then personally ambushed them; you spoke English as a singer in hell, and in the blessing of the earth, you offered gold, claiming to be a true friend.”

“—This series of seemingly frenzied and aberrant events earned you this evaluation attribute!”

“You can retain this evaluation attribute to upgrade it in the future; or you can devour this evaluation attribute to gain basic attribute points.”

“Congratulations!”

“Your door has gained a new ability: ‘Star Shift’.”

“The minimum target to activate this ability is a blue attribute. The higher the attribute level, the better the effect of ‘Star Shift’!”

“You have obtained a dark gold attribute beyond compare!”

“As a result, your ‘Star Shift’ has obtained an equivalent effect.”

“Details as follows:”

“Star Shift.”

“Effect 1: You can mark two new teleportation points, which can be canceled at any time and re-marked as activated;”

“Effect 2: Connect to a new world closest to you, and establish a ‘door’ within it—currently unavailable.”

“Description: The effect of Star Shift has reached the dark gold level of unparalleled quality, but your strength is too weak to use it proficiently.”

“Please continue to improve your strength and acquire high-quality attributes at appropriate times, allowing the door to devour them, in order to activate the second effect of ‘Star Shift’.”

Shen Ye almost couldn’t help but cheer.

Every teleportation was to the secret passage of that stronghold, and then he had to travel a long way to get anywhere else, which he was already tired of!

With this ability, he could set the teleportation point in the nightmare world to Evernight City, or the human capital Saint Brunos, or the Beastman’s Thunder Fortress. He wouldn’t have to suffer the arduous journey—

He could embark on a spontaneous trip anytime!

As for the second effect not being usable yet, it wasn’t a major problem.

After all, it had already manifested!

As long as it had appeared, there was a chance to achieve it!

At worst, he would just improve his strength and wander around a few more times, and maybe he could activate them?

Furthermore—

How exactly was that dark gold attribute “The Joker” supposed to be used?

He couldn’t just use it blindly before understanding how it worked!

So, should he do an experiment?

Anyway, the effect of this attribute could be canceled at any time!

“Big Skeleton,” Shen Ye called out.

“What?”

“Come out, we need to discuss something.”

“Oh… yes, we need to discuss going to hell.”

The ring moved.

Big Skeleton appeared directly, sitting in front of the campfire.

“How about we have some fun first, then discuss serious matters?” Shen Ye said.

—The “Joker” attribute was activated!

Shen Ye’s eyes flashed, and he began to closely observe Big Skeleton’s changes.

This was a true brother-in-arms!

It would never blame him!

“We need to go to Evernight City again, using your identity as a singer as a disguise, quickly gather all the materials, and then immediately head to hell.”

Big Skeleton knew nothing yet, seriously discussing matters with him.

Shen Ye was about to speak when he suddenly saw several lines of small characters condense in mid-air:

“You said ‘fun’, but you did not designate a target in your mind.”

“Currently, ‘fun’ randomly hit two targets:”

“Shen Ye, Fei Lun.”

…Damn it.

He forgot to specify a target, and now he was part of the joke himself!

Shen Ye tensed up, instinctively straightening his body, ready to react at any moment.

After all, this was a dark gold attribute!

However—

Nothing happened.

He didn’t receive any attacks either.

…That’s right.

There was a sentence in the attribute’s description:

“You, the attribute, and your profession must work together to create mischief. When mischief exists, your designated target will fall into the mischief you created…”

It seems I have to create the fun first!

Creating fun for himself, and letting himself fall into it…

Was he playing a bit too big?

“What’s wrong with you? Why do I feel like you’re a bit nervous?” Big Skeleton asked strangely.

“Nothing! You’re right, we must work together to get the spell materials as soon as possible.” Shen Ye felt guilty for a moment and quickly replied.

He was interrupted by Big Skeleton.

No time for regret.

The attribute effect had already activated!

Shen Ye suddenly felt his eyelids getting heavy.

He instinctively closed his eyes, then opened them again—

Shen Ye instinctively opened his mouth and couldn’t help but sing a line:

“Are you happy?”

His golden voice opened, and the singer skill automatically activated.

A magnificent opening!

A “shhhhhh” sound echoed by the campfire, and several figures descended from mid-air, finding their seats.

“The grand performance is about to begin, Shen Ye!”

These figures said in unison.
